Saint-Louis des Invalides
The design of this elaborate, ornate organcase is attributed to Jalues Hardouin-Mansart. It is the only representative of the Louis-XIV era among the organs of Paris.
The instrument was built by Alexandre Thierry (1687). Major revisions were carried out in the mid 1800s and more recently in 1957. The organ is not the most ornate aspect of this mostly white and gilt church. It is not my favorite but I can appreciate the detail as well as the sounds that are brought forth.
